I decided to send some pictures. The 1st one is previous companion
and I. Every week we get asked by the Elders to make something for
district meeting. Apparently the Elders like to think that because we
are Hermanas we like to bake all sorts of treats and goodies for them.
Haha good one Eh? I just wonder when they think we have the time. I
barely have time to breath let alone bake for someone. The first
transfer I was here the Elders kept joking that they wanted us to be
Emergency transfered in order to bring in Hermanas that will bake for
them. Haha! I think they have learned to live without treats everyweek!
My companion decided to cave one week but for a good reason. One of the
Elders in our district was going home and so she made some brownies. My
only contribution was the airplane! If you don't know what that blue
mess in the middle is it is an airplane! Haha I know a pretty sad
airplane! It ended up being okay but at first it looked like a blue
mess. We had to document our efforts.
The second picture is my poor companion. She ALWAYS gets hurt. This
particular day was my fault. We were riding along and I saw a branch
head towards my face.... or rather I had aimed my face directly in line
with this branch. My natural reaction was to duck but my poor companion
didn't see it and got attacted. I didn't realize that it had happened
until we got to our destination. Her face screamed "oh hermana pez!" I
felt really bad but I did laugh pretty hard. We always had a lot of fun
together!
The thrid picture was my companions birthday. The Elders made her a
birthday card. I don't know if you can tell but it is a picture of bike
handles and a car door. The reason behind it being someone opened the
car door as she was going by and she totally hit it. The whole mission
knows about this little accident because everytime our mission nurse is
in conferences and talking about health she brings it up saying "be
careful with car doors" to which everyone starts laughing.
The fourth picture is my Zone leaders. We are blessed to have them
in our district! This day we went and studied with them in the park.
They have been studying with all the missionaries in the zone and
helping them improve things. It was a really great session. We really
like our zone leaders. They are very wise!
The fifth pictures is a few weeks ago. My companion and I got
invited over to this house for birthday cake. This is the family of the
17 year old that got baptized a few weeks ago. Remember the miracle boy?
Yeah his family. It was a really interesting experience. The reason
this birthday boy looks so tired is because it is 8'o-clock in the
morning! I don't know who would want to have cake in the morning but we
sure went and supported. Apparently a tradition is to play this certain
song in the morning really loud to wake up the birthday person. It is a
latin tradition and it usually has the name of the person celebrating in
the song. So we get there he is sound a sleep on the couch. We just sit
there and watch him wake up. Everyone but the mom was asleep. It was a
little awkward! But really funny!
The sixth picture is the cutest kids you will ever see in your
WHOLE entire life! The one with her eyes close is so funny! I will have
to have her sing a song for me and get it on camera. The mom just had a
baby this week so we went over this last week to see it. He is so
little! The one holding the baby will be a heart breaker but I think I
am more worried about the boys. She is one tough cookie! And the boy is
just so sweet! He wants to move to Africa and help the kids when he
grows up. The kicker is that he is only 8! I don't even think I thought
of things like that when I was young! I am grateful to know them so I
can watch them grow up!
The seventh is our friend Dani. He has this super sweet bike. We
went for a bike ride with him and took him to ice cream for his
birthday. We are trying to get him to come back to church but we have
yet to get him there. He is so cool though! He just has a super big
heart! I want everyone to be friends with him.
The last one was yesterday at conference. Hermana P got the
same bag as me awhile ago but she didn't think we would be companions.
Now she begs me to wear it so we are twins. I try to avoid matching my
companions as much as possible but every now and then I pull it out. The
bag I use now is way better for biking but since it was conference I
decided to change it up. Jorge (our dear dear friend) (I think his real
name is Yosi) got a hold of her bag so we took a picture. I love Jorge!
He is so great! He takes us to dinner whenever we don't have food which
is usually a two times a week. He is super funny! He works for this
company repairing things. He works a lot in the houses of famous people
so he tells us about them sometimes. Most the time he doesn't even
realize who the people are. For example last week he was at someone's
house and he told us that this famous person was just chilling with his
girlfriend. Since we know who the girlfriend is we said the name asking
if it was her and he replied in spanish "Oh yeah her!" haha It is crazy
how many people who meet around here who clean houses for famous people
but they don't even know them. I have decided I am going to come back
and work with Jorge so I can see all these beautiful homes he goes into.
